Blocking increases<br />

calculation speed <strong>and</strong><br />

reduces the variance of<br />

the estimated spectra.<br />

Filter functions may be<br />

applied to smooth noisy<br />

spectra (optional).<br />

Transform from skew to<br />

orthogonal coordinates.<br />

Mean, rms, skewness,<br />

flatness & cross-moments.<br />

(Weighted or unweighted)<br />

Loop through all blocks.<br />

Fixed time-steps is a<br />

requirement of FFT.<br />

Fourier transform lead to<br />

calculation of spectra.<br />

Averaging over several<br />

blocks reduces variance.<br />

Inverse FFT of a spectrum<br />

yields correlation.<br />

Correlation may be<br />

normalized with Rxy(0)<br />
